NL Seminar-A Typology of Ethical Risks in Language Technology with an Eye Towards Where Transparent Documentation Can Help
Thu, Jul 30, 2020 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Emily Bender, University of Washington
Talk Title: A Typology of Ethical Risks in Language Technology with an Eye Towards Where Transparent Documentation Can Help
Series: NL Seminar
Abstract: People are impacted by language technology in various ways: as direct users of the technology (by choice or otherwise), and indirectly, including as the subject of queries, as the subject of stereotypes, and as contributors to corpora. In these roles, risks are borne differentially by different speaker populations, depending on how well the technology works for their language varieties. This talk explores strategies for mitigating these risks based on transparent documentation of training data.
Biography: Emily M. Bender is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington and the Faculty Director of the Professional Masters in Computational Linguistics CLMS program. Her research interests include the interaction of linguistics and NLP, computational semantics, multilingual NLP, and the societal impact of language technology.
Host: Jon May and Mozhdeh Gheini

"Hard times don't create heroes. It is during the hard times when the 'hero' within us is revealed." -- Bob Riley
USC Viterbi's Office of Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship is pleased to invite you to the inaugural USC Technology Innovation Bootcamp Final Showcase.
For the past 3 weeks, high school students from across the country have joined USC in an innovation sprint to develop solutions to combat COVID-19. This was a direct response to the NAE's Engineering Call to Action.
During this intensive and immersive program, students explored what it means to be an innovator, learned about design thinking, and gained valuable entrepreneurial and engineering skills. This showcase is a culmination of their journey and the solutions they developed to address the COVID-19 pandemic.More Information: USCViterbi_NAE_InnovationBootcamp_Invitation.pdf
